Carroll's role is normally to be at the near post and just attack balls and head them away.Which he normally does very effectivelyFor the second goal he missed the ball. Whether it was because the players in front of him got a nick on it and deflected it past him I don't know We seem to have a knack of that We were going to clear the goal that Costa tapped in the other day and Kouyate defected away from Fonte I think it was.All those seem to end up in the net when we are defending

Reid was marking Huth before the injury with Carroll marking space at front of 6 yard box, when Reid went off Antonio marked Huth at corners and Carroll stayed marking space.Why? Surely Antonio should have marked the space and Carroll mark Huth.

Anyway, out of everything that happened on Saturday the only thing I took away from the match is that I'd like to see Masuaku replace Cresswell until the end of the season as I genuinely have been impressed with him every time I have seen him play. (I was on holiday when we played West Brom away so can't comment on that but heard it was a bit of a shocker).

Still, can't be any worse than how things are right now, looked very comfortable and confident going foward with the ball.

Its 2 days later and I am as depressed now as on Saturday. Even a skin full Saturday night has not helped.

I see a squad with big holes in it. The lack of mobility and inability to press or be pressed for space is an enormous problem and was last season after teams adjusted to Payet etc. That declining run of form at the end of last season carried on into this and was not addressed in the transfer market. No wonder we have gone backwards.

Nearly a whole new spine needed. Goalkeeper, central midfielder and striker of quality. These have to be quality not loans or punts or last chance saloon panic buys after Sullivan continually thinks he can get a deal. We can get quality but will have to overpay onn fees and wages.

We also need more younger prospects of quality. Fernandes looks good in his cameo appearances. He may not yet be ready to start every game. How much was his good performance down to a tiring Leicester team (they had a midweek game) and the fact he only had 40 mins was it?

Bilic? How much is down to transfer restrictions of Sullivan? He may just not be a good judge? Tactically and coaching wise, he tries to get us on the front foot and playing pass and move but we aint got the players with pace and/or fitness to play that way. We struggled to find gaps and launched it to big Andy.

But defensively we are a mess. Defensive organisation of BFS days has gone (OK thats all BFS had) but we are kamakazi or on Saturday just basic marking and talking.

Randolph has to be dropped too. Responsible for 2 or 3 goals last few weeks.

We've made fucking Leicester, Bournemouth, Watford and West Brom seem like world beaters at times over the past few weeks. If anyone is satisfied with scrambling 2 points from those fixtures then Mark Noble has a point about clueless fans.After over 50 years I'm tired of sloppy lazy incompetent failure, the one thing that made the presence of Brady and porno scum bearable was the promise of success, Christ I'm jaded waiting

Concentration and mental fitness are every bit as important as physical fitness. Our players start games half asleep far too often and likewise at the end of the game. Yesterday being a classic example. Considering Leicester had played the game of their lives on Tuesday it is hardly surprising they faded second half, but they did their hard work from the off and got the goals. We did our hard work when the damage had been done.

Ho hum - slick pass and move in the lead up combined with defensive lapses and mystifying missed scoring opportunities; this also with players consistently started out of position and questions about form of key personnel (Cresswell, Kouyate and increasingly Antonio).
